Comment Psyh. Abusive Barclays behavior - Boycott (Score 1) 108
I would go a step further from calling Barclays treatment of their staff as "creepy" to describing it more accurately as "psychologically abusive".
I've worked at call centers where there were metrics calculated for every break you take, bathroom, water, breather, lunch, etc. That was stressful enough with weekly competing metrics over it.
But Barclays behavior is beyond the pale with getting in their staff's heads with verbiage like in "the zone" and daily nagging of everything they do enough for the staff to not take needed water or bathroom breaks.
Do Barclays' important people a favor and the United States banking industry a favor by not using Barclays products and allowing the staff to find a better job where the minimum respect for human dignity is a value in the company motto.
